Her lips are so soft!

On a street filled with Chinese-style buildings. Ren and Jean are currently walking while enjoying the cityscape of Liyue.

They had been dating in the city for 2 hours and now the date was still continuing.

"Would you like to try the food in Liyue city?" Ren asked.

"Hm... Okay, I wonder what the food tastes like in this town." Jean said.

"Hehe believe me. The food in this city won't lose to the food in Monstadt.

He then took Jean to a famous restaurant in Liyue city called Wanmin restaurant. While sitting inside the restaurant, a girl with black hair in pigtails and yellow eyes came to greet the two of them.

"Welcome! What do you two want to order?" The girl who asked was Xiangling. She is a chef and the daughter of a restaurant owner.

She looked at the two people in front of her with a friendly smile, but inside she was surprised by the appearance of the two people in front of her. The two people were a man and a woman and they both looked like a couple. The man had short black hair, blue eyes and a very handsome face. And the woman had blonde hair, blue eyes and a very pretty face. It was obvious that they were not from Liyue, especially from the clothes they were wearing.

Ren smiled. He of course recognized the girl in front of him, after all she was one of the characters he sometimes played in the game.

"I want Tianshu Meat and Apple Juice." He turned to Jean and asked. "What do you want?"

Jean looked at the food menu on the table for a while, then she said. "I want Black-Back Perch Stew and Orange Juice."

"That's all." Ren said to Xiangling.

"Orders coming soon! Please wait a moment!" Xiangling said before she rushed into the kitchen to cook the food they ordered.

Ren stared at Xiangling's back for a few seconds before he turned his head towards Jean who was currently staring at him.

"What?"

"Do you know the girl?" Jean asked with a smile. She's not jealous or anything, okay? She was just curious.

'Am I clearly visible? No, I sure hide my gaze well!'

"Not really. I've only seen him buy my manga at the Feiyun Commerce Guild." Ren said naturally, as if he was telling the truth.

"Oh. I remember you said that you also sold your manga in Liyue city. So you cooperated with the Feiyun Commerce Guild?"

"Yeah, it's like that. I need their help to sell my manga in this town."

Jean became interested in talking about manga. So she asked Ren about manga while waiting for their order to arrive. After they finished eating at Wanmin restaurant. They decided to take another walk in Liyue city again.

She had a great time on her date with Ren. It felt like a long time ago that she could freely roam around without having to think about her work. She wondered if she could do something like this more often? But she knew that it was hard for her to have free time.

While dating Ren today. She also got to know him better and even started to like him romantically. Jean wasn't sure if he was being too easy or not. But when holding hands with him. She felt very happy and her heart was beating fast. She felt comfortable and wanted to continue being with him like this.

The blue sky had turned orange. Ren and Jean decided to end their date. Jean had had enough fun today. So he took Jean to teleport to the backyard of her mansion.

"Thanks for today Ren." Jean said with a gentle smile on her lips.

"You're welcome. So how is it?" Ren asked.

Jean knew what his question meant. Her face flushed and she nervously walked towards him. Then she quickly kissed Ren's cheek.

"Th-That's my answer. But um... You know. Can we hide our relationship from the public for a while? I'm still not ready to announce it." She asked nervously.

'AAAAAA! Her lips are so soft!' Ren smirked while holding his cheek that was just kissed and screaming in joy in his mind. He was happy to getting a kiss from Jean! Although it was only on the cheek, but it was okay. There was no need to rush to ask for something more. After all, Jean was his girlfriend now, so in the future he would definitely be able to get something more... *Cough* *Cough*.

As for Jean's request? He didn't mind hiding their relationship for a while. After all, he also wanted the same thing, because he was worried about how other women who liked him would react. When thinking about that. He felt more and more like an bastard. But he would still walk the path of an bastard and would achieve his dream of having a harem! Yes! He would walk little by little and make sure everything was under control first.

"It's okay, I don't mind. I need preparations to meet your family anyway."

Jean blushed and want to hit his head. Because it was too soon, right? But she was happy that Ren seemed to take the relationship between the two of them seriously.

After dropping Jean home. Ren teleported to his bookstore. There he saw Grayfia who had just put up a closing sign in front of the bookstore door.

Grayfia realized his arrival and turned to him. She walked up to him with a smile and said. "Welcome back master."

"I'm back Fia. How was the bookstore today?"

"Same as usual. Ah by the way, this afternoon a blonde haired girl with a small mascot who accompanied her came to the bookstore to buy manga. And their appearance characteristics are the same as master said."

Ren was surprised to hear that. "So they had arrived at Monstadt..."

"Um... Master, are they your acquaintances?"

"No. We don't know each other. But I know who they are. Well, tonight I'll tell you something interesting Fia. Now I want to take a shower first.

"Alright master. Then, I will prepare the food for dinner." She then immediately went to the kitchen to cook. Despite her calm face, she was actually very excited looking forward to her master's story later tonight. Because that meant she would be spending more time with him later that night.

Ren smiled wryly. He could see that Grayfia was get excited and looking forward to his story later tonight.

"Well, I'm also excited for tonight." He said as he walked towards the bathroom.

---

Inside the inn room, in the town of Monstadt.

Lumine and Paimon were currently resting on the bed while wearing pajamas.

However they did not plan to go to bed early, as they were currently engrossed in reading manga.

Lumine held the manga in her hands and Paimon sat on her lap. Their gazes were fixed on the manga page that was depicting a boy named Taki and a girl named Mitsuha.

Yes, the manga they were reading was the "Your Name" manga.

A few hours ago. After Lumine and Paimon went to the Adventure Guild to sell materials. The two of them wandered around the city for information and bought a lot of food, as Paimon kept whining about wanting to try the food in the city.

Lumine now knew that she was in a city called Monstadt. And after getting a lot of general information from the people in Monstadt. She knew that if she wanted to find her older brother. She would also have to enlist the help of others who had a wide communication network. And she found the Knights of Favonius organization.

According to the information she got. The Knights of Favonius were the ones who kept the peace of the city of Monstadt and the place to report any problems the citizens of Monstadt had.

So she and Paimon visited the Knights of Favonius to ask for help. When they came there. They met a brown-haired girl dressed all in red. The girl's name was Amber.

After talking to her for a while. The Knights of Favonius could indeed help with her problem, but they couldn't help her at the moment. Because their superior called the Acting Grand Master was on vacation today. So Lumine decided to go come back later and look for an inn.

The girl named Amber volunteered to help him find an inn in the city of Monstadt, which she agreed to because it would be faster if she was helped by someone who knew a lot about the places in the city of Monstadt. On the way, they chatted and talked about many things. But while chatting, Amber kept saying a lot of things about manga, manga and manga.

And said that she and Paimon should try reading the manga sold at the Happy Heaven bookstore. The bookstore was located in front of the Monstadt city gate. She was surprised to find out that the big and tall building she and Paimon had passed was actually a bookstore.

She had been curious about the building since she first came to Monstadt city. So since she had quite a bit of money from selling materials. She and Paimon asked Amber to accompany them to the bookstore. And Amber eagerly guided them and even recommended the first manga they should read.

Upon entering the bookstore. She was surprised to see many modern items that she had seen in the world she had visited before. Although there were slight differences, they still looked similar. Well, back then she didn't expect there to be such items in this world.

But there were also items that she had never seen. For example, the thing called manga. Because Amber urged her to try reading manga. She finally bought one manga called "Your Name". It seems that manga is a kind of storybook that is popular in the city of Monstadt these days.

She was skeptical about manga at first. Because it was just an ordinary storybook, right? But she withdrew her previous words after she tried reading a few pages of the manga in her hands at the moment.

The usually talkative Paimon was silent, because she seemed to be very immersed in the manga story. The two of them were currently looking at a page depicting Taki and Mitsuha swapping bodies. The scene was quite funny and interesting to read.

Then she continued reading and now came to Taki and Mitsuha who were looking for each other's whereabouts on the hill. But no matter how hard they try to find each other. They can't meet and can only hear each other's voices. Because they are both in different dimensions so they can't meet.

Lumine as a traveler who often visits many worlds in different dimensions, feels sympathy for Taki and Mitsuha. She felt that Taki and Mitsuha's feelings of wanting to meet each other were similar to her wanting to meet her older brother.

At some point of the manga page. Taki and Mitsuha begin to forget their memories while exchanging bodies which makes them even more desperate.

In the end the story continues until Taki who looks like an adult. He was walking on a bridge and saw a woman who looked familiar. Yes, the woman looks like Mitsuha. But at that time Taki could not remember Mitsuha's name and face so the two of them just walked and passed each other.

"No! No! Stop, Taki! That woman is Mitsuha!" Paimon who had been silent for a long time shouted.

"Stttt! don't be so loud Paimon. We're at the public inn right now." Lumine tried to calm Paimon who started screaming. She also actually wanted to scream when she saw the scene in the manga, but she still managed to contain herself.

"Ughh... But Taki... He..." Paimon pouted while pointing at the manga page.

Lumine sighed and said. "Calm. I'm sure the two of them will meet eventually. Let's continue reading."

"Uuuu okay..."

Then they continued reading the manga and they were surprised by the plot twist in the manga. It turns out that the woman Taki met on the bridge was not Mitsuha. She was actually Mitsuha's older sister who was on her way home from work.

Paimon wanted to scream again at that moment. But she quickly silenced her mouth and told her to continue reading quietly.

The story continues and finally reaches the last page where Taki finally meets the real Mitsuha.

"Excuse me, have we met before? I think I've seen your face." Taki said.

Mitsuha smiled with a few tears in her eyes. "Yes, so do I."

And the story "Your Name" ends there.

"..." Lumine and Paimon fell silent looking at the ending of the manga.

Both of them had tears in their eyes after finishing reading the manga. The easily emotional Paimon had started crying like a baby and Lumine tried to calm her down.

Lumine also felt emotional after seeing the ending of the manga, but she just shed tears silently and lay on the bed with Paimon in her arms. She had to admit that the manga's story was so good that it made her emotions that she often held back leak out.

At that time she missed her older brother even more. "Aether... Where are you... I missed you."
